ATTENTION green card holders! Trump govt issues fresh warning to immigrants, says your green card, visas will be revoked if…

Earlier this month, USCIS changed the validity rules for Form I-693, a mandatory document that proves applicants meet health-related requirements.

The US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has given a clear warning to immigrants: anyone who breaks serious laws can lose their visa or green card. In a recent message shared on X (earlier known as Twitter), USCIS posted an image saying, “Green cards and visas will be revoked if an alien breaks the law.” The agency explained that people found guilty of serious crimes, like supporting or encouraging terrorism, can have their legal stay in the U.S. taken away.

For those who may not know, a Green Card, officially called a Permanent Resident Card, allows a person to live and work in the U.S. permanently. However, the process to get one depends on the person’s situation.

The USCIS also wrote: “Coming to the United States and getting a visa or green card is a privilege. You must follow our laws and respect our values. If you support violence, terrorism, or encourage others to do the same, you will lose the right to stay in the country.”

US focusing on stricter immigration rules

This warning comes at a time when the U.S. is putting more focus on national security and stricter immigration rules. USCIS didn’t refer to any specific case, but made it clear that breaking the law can lead to deportation. This also follows the government’s newly announced “catch and revoke” policy, where violators will be caught and have their legal documents cancelled.

What is the “catch and revoke” policy?

The “catch and revoke” policy is a new immigration rule introduced earlier this year by the Trump administration. Under this rule, any non-U.S. citizen who is caught breaking U.S. laws could immediately lose their visa or green card.

Announcing the policy, Secretary of State Marco Rubio wrote on X (formerly Twitter): “There is now a one-strike policy: Catch-And-Revoke. Whenever the government catches non-U.S. citizens breaking our laws, we will take action to revoke their status.”

This means that if an immigrant is found guilty of crimes, especially serious ones like domestic violence, assault, or other violent acts, the U.S. government will cancel their legal status and may deport them. The policy was first revealed in Rubio’s April 30 newsletter and is part of a broader effort to tighten immigration rules and increase national security.

In simple terms, if you’re not a U.S. citizen and you commit a crime, you may only get one chance after that, your legal stay in the U.S. can be taken away.
